It started with a small team of passionate musicians who loved music because of their teachers. Today, over 18,000 students actively take music lessons and we employ over 750 people across our 22 Aureus Academy centres through Singapore.

The History of Aureus Academy Music School
Our first music school opened in September 2013 as we saw the opportunity to enrich countless lives with what we felt was missing; let people learn what they want to. Since our first day nearly a decade ago, our approach has always been built around the best possible experience for our students, so they want to learn music and develop a passion for learning.
Starting Out
It was September 2013; brothers Lawrence and Julius Holmefjord-Sarabi opened their first Aureus Academy branch at Delfi Orchard!
...and Growing Faster!
In only 3 years, Aureus ANOTHER 8 music schools at popular locations including Jurong Point, Bedok Mall, and Vivocity. And the most remarkable part? We opened 4 more schools during the Covid-19 period with aplomb, enrolling as many as 200 students a month!
Growing...
By May 2018, Aureus opened 8 more music schools in Singapore in key locations: Forum, Rochester Mall, AMK Hub, Westgate, Eastpoint, Northpoint, Suntec, and United Square!
10 Years & Beyond!
Having opened another 4 locations between 2022 and 2023, Aureus Academy continues to thrive and explore new opportunities, with planned expansions and new school openings in 2024 and beyond!
What makes us different
"We have discovered that the key to success at Aureus has come mainly from differentiation. We have never tried to undercut or outsell other providers, but rather provide an experience that is simply better. By focusing on our core values (which may be different from other schools) and hiring the very best people, we have become the leading company in our industry."
-Lawrence H. Sarabi, Founder & CEO

Our Values
We believe everyone is capable of learning to play an instrument. Our goal at Aureus is to match our students with a teacher that fits their learning style, which is why we will always offer a free trial lesson. If more than one trial is needed, we are more than happy to accommodate!
02
Our Culture
Our culture at Aureus is built around performance and giving musicians career opportunities. The first piano teacher hired is now COO, our first admin is now Managing Director, and countless other positions have been promoted. This approach makes us unique and gives our staff opportunities to grow beyond teaching!
